Influences: Anything that makes me feel something.. especially love Taylor Swift, Phoebe Bridgers, Sam Fender
Tea addict partial to late night guitar noodlings. My lyrics tend to be more direct than poetic. Songwriting is my therapy, I find it simultaneously torturous and cathartic. 2nd time doing FAWM and looking forward to getting to know some of you lovely people.

Ha, yes, I'm such a Swiftie! Thank you so so much for your listening and really glad you enjoyed "Life on the Freeway." And on another note, thought I was the only one left perusing through the FAWM site, happy to know I'm not alone :-)
Hi Serene, yeh, as soon as you can, just send me mp3s. Via email. Or something I can download. Women's month is the month of March.
Thanks very kindly for your compliments! I'm trying to compile all the new folks I started listening to this month into an easy to find place, where's the best place to find your music in the real world? I have no intention of not hearing your stuff for the rest of the year!
Hi Serene. Thank you for the comment on and taking the time to listen to my song, "The Eclipse". Yeah.... it was kind of a tough one to do. Hope you had a great FAWM. Til next year!
Thanks so much, Serene hope you had a great FAWM and that we stay connected beyond
Hi Serene, me again. I just emailed you, from [email protected].
Hi Serene, I think if it's onYoutube I can't use it on the radio (there's rules about that, YouTube says its theirs). But I'll be happy to play other songs. And I'll ask permission from your collab. For the other one. Thanks. Do you have any CDs yet? Keep me inmind if you do. You can write me through my website outside of FAWMtime, whenever. Cheers.
hi Serene, if you're OK with it, I'm fine with the recording quality on the Ukraine song. I'll make sure to say it's a demo. May I use some other songs of yours as well, like One Rule, The Fiver, and the Valentine's song?
Ah, thank you Serene! 1) the vocal effect is a setting called ‘old radio voice’ on the distortion plugin I use. But it’s basically achieved by rolling off the high and low frequencies and adding a tiny bit of distortion. 2) yes I am v worried about Putin coming for me…
Hi Reuben, thank you so much for that nice note. You made my day! When are we going to Zoom again? I hope soon..
Hi Serene, did I ask you yet if I might play your music on my local community radio station? KOPN.org. I host a show of world music, and in March, all month will be women's music from outside the borders of the USA. I'd love to share (saying loudly that these are all just demos, not finished recordings). Especially your song for Ukraine. Please say yes. thanks,
thanks for your comment on 'the veselka' i'm a tea addict too-lucky you you're in london!!!
Thanks for listening and offering such thoughtful feedback, Serene! I spent a good 10 minutes debating with myself whether to shorten the intro or not lol and HELLO fellow Swiftie!
So I shared the £5 anecdote with my family, and my missus made the very good point that your daughter should be commended, given that women often struggle to ask for or receive pay rises in the work place. So perhaps you should stretch to the £5 after all?
Hi Serene! Happy to see you here. Just trying to make it thru the cold winter! FAWM helps! Ha. Keeps the mind busy.... :)
So fun to hear your voice with richaaaay's on "I Love Every Minute". I really enjoyed what you both did! :)
Literally just realised that so sorry! I mean, anyone and everyone should give Tennis a try but I think it's the purple avatars. V. embarrassed now! I would like to add that it was only the Tennis part that I mixed up, I am very much looking forward to hearing more from you!
Thanks for the lovely comment on Love Hurts! And looking forward to hearing more from you too, Tennis is a huge winner in my books so always nice to share good music!
Thanks for your comment about my song. Yes the power just came back on. That was a long time without a cuppa!
Thank you so much for your comments! To be honest, I'm not sure what that chord is on Daddy Don't. I was just playing around and thought it sounded right! Ha!
Hey thanks so much for your comment on my Scottish song! :)
Haha, I'm comfortable writing about Bezos, but Putin scares the bejesus out of me.
Big smiles! Your daughter is a gem—I loved everything about it. Genuine love and FUN!! Plus, your voice and melody was just gorgeous. I’ve been humming “love is” the last 5 mins…
i guess i only hear you sing what you can sing - so i have no other framework :-)
We're one step closer on "How are you". Vocal sketch is up, take a look if you're curious.
Thanks a lot for your words on Skyscraper. This has been tons of fun!
Thanks so much for the generous comment on In Peace! So encouraging!
Thanks for listening to my Science Bad song. I agree, backup vocals would be great!
haha, I don't know! It's good for study groups and gaming! You don't have to bother with the social media aspect if that's your flavor.
Hey Serene
Thank you for your kind comments on Love thru a broken Heart. I took great pains to respect the storyline and so glad you enjoyed hearing it. Cheers!
I didn't hear Phoebe, I only heard Serene and it was lovely :) Are you on Discord? Post-FAWM music session sound fun? I'll even bring my new stylophone! LOL
Genuinely, silly songs are the BEST. Really looking forward to it :)
Doing good! Got off to a fast start this month, but work now....blah, but I'm used to late nights and little sleep lol.
Hey, thanks so much for listening to my songs, I'm glad you like them. I hope FAWM goes well for you this year :)
Oooh, yes please! Sounds intriguing. Have you got my email? [email protected] if you don’t. Can’t guarantee next day delivery (currently a bit of a backlog at DT studios) but as long as it lands during FAWM that’s cool, right?
Hey girl--you mention that you recently had "a late night feel sorry for myself". I call mine a pity party with 1 attendee. If you ever wanna throw a party of two, let me know :) Maybe even after FAWM? I'd love to swap ideas and maybe we can share songwriting tips?
Hey! It is great to see you here again! I hope you are fine... and thank you soooo much for your wonderful comments! :-)
My muse is getting really wild this year. I never know the style of my next song. I have too much noise in my head. Maybe this is because I surpresed the urge to write songs for 10 months... Yesterday's and todays' outcome has been insane. I hope that most of these projects will happen. Cannot find a bad song. Okay exept for my fake band joke :D
Thanks a lot for your comment. I hope I can continue on my blues... This is a super tricky one!
Thanks so much for your nice comment!
Thank you Serene. Such a nice compliment on my balcony song. I am experimenting with different styles this FAWM. First week has been terrific.
Thank you, Serene! I hope you had a nice holiday season. Glad to hear your music again!
Thanks a lot for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed my rage quit on a metal song. It's been so much fun and now I feel better.
We are in Northamptonshire
